For about two years the DDR2 market stayed unchanged without any inventions. While many vendors do concentrate on DDR3 which is catching up to DDR2, OCZ decided not to left out DDR2 users. Intel forced memory-chip makers to reduce voltage for the overclocking parts. Long ago we pointed out DDR3 memory over 2.00V is just insane. So the market turned and you get bunches of high-end DDR3 kits running at "only" 1.65V. In the DDR2 market this not really necessary, but OCZ decided to offer their overclocking DDR2 lines running at stock voltage of 1.80V.

With speeds up to 1200MHz at 1.80V your board doesn't need to support over-voltaging the memory. Even if it is supported, increasing voltages does strain the components on the mainboard and may cause early failure, besides increased temperatures inside the casing. Now it's time to test what this product can do for you.
